SUMMARY: Prevent Outlook 2007 from deleting a meeting request from your Inbox when you respond.

By default, whenever you respond to a meeting request in Microsoft Outlook 2007, the request is removed from your Inbox. This assumes that a reminder in the calendar is all you will need of the request.

If desired, you can keep meeting requests in the Inbox as a second reminder of the upcoming meeting, allowing you to later delete the Inbox request manually as/if needed.
